Bermuda Triangle, why did the ship mysteriously disappear?

So far, the interpretation of Bermuda Triangle can be summarized into the following categories:

The first view: these disappearances are caused by supernatural reasons and are related to whether the flying saucer of aliens is working.

The second view: this is caused by natural causes, such as geomagnetic anomalies (caused by magnetic fields), seabed cavities, and even some people put forward the views of bubbles, clear sky turbulence, water bridges, black holes and so on, and explained the Bermuda Triangle with some strange natural phenomena. [ 16]

Vortex theory

Some scientists believe that the sudden disappearance of a ship while passing through the Bermuda Triangle may be due to the existence of some magical vortex with incomparable power in this area.

Bermuda Triangle is the seat of the magical and famous the sargasso sea. From the point of view of fluid mechanics, the sargasso sea is a place where heat energy accumulates. The current around this sea area is very complicated, and its boundary is not land, but the counterclockwise circulation of several Atlantic currents (Gulf Stream, Canary Cold Current and North Equatorial Warm Current). An American scholar who studies vortex thinks that the direction of vortex rotation is related to the earth's rotation, and the direction of vortex in the northern hemisphere is counterclockwise. The Gulf Stream passes through straits of florida, and several small currents in different directions meet in Bermuda Triangle, forming a huge current, which is a very unfavorable factor for ship navigation. It is said that a 25-meter wave can split a big ship in half and swallow a ship that is caught off guard. However, meteorologists in some countries retorted: "There will be no demonic waves, and it is even more impossible to hit a ship of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons to the bottom of the sea without leaving any traces. Unless something mysterious and powerful drags them to the bottom of the sea. "

Some scholars believe that there may be two or more currents in opposite directions in the Bermuda Triangle, resulting in different water density at the interface, which is called "internal wave". In the process of tidal return, seawater produces vortex excitation, which shows a large range of vertical twisted vortex.

Some scholars believe that under the action of the strong north wind blowing from Puerto Rico and the turbulent waves in the depths of the ocean, sometimes there may be "internal waterfalls" as high as several thousand meters and huge descending currents. This "internal waterfall" is almost invisible on the sea surface, so people can't see this "internal waterfall" from the appearance of the ocean. However, under certain conditions, the liquid with huge mass will reach a very high speed when falling, sometimes the rotation speed can reach 0.5 m/s, thus forming a huge vortex with a diameter of 150 ~ 200 km and a depth of 500 m, which is enough to bury a huge ship at the bottom of the sea. Secondly, the Greater Antilles is often hit by terrible hurricanes, which come from the direction of the Bermuda Triangle. Hurricanes set off huge waves, often forming a water wall more than ten meters high. There are sometimes sea dragons here, and they can even suck the sea water to a height of hundreds or thousands of meters. If ships and planes sailing in the Bermuda Triangle encounter these terrible strange phenomena, they will also be crushed.

According to an article published in Macau Daily on May 6th 1984, a foreign scholar thinks that a mesoscale vortex is equivalent to a concave mirror. When the sun shines on the vortex (concave mirror), the focus can generate high temperature. He did an experiment in which a strong light was incident into a simulated vortex at an incident angle of 60 ~ 75. As a result, the focus of the vortex (like a concave mirror) could ignite a thin piece of paper. Based on this experimental result, he asserted that there are many huge eddies in Bermuda Triangle, that is, many huge "concave mirror". The incident angle of sunlight is 60 ~ 75. When irradiated in a vortex with a diameter of 1 km, the focal diameter is about one meter and the temperature can reach tens of thousands of degrees. Such a high temperature is enough for airplanes and ships to melt or explode in an instant. The larger the diameter of the vortex, the higher the temperature of its focal point. There is no sunshine at night, although the vortex can't concentrate light, because the huge vortex rotates very fast, it will inevitably cause electromagnetic field disturbance, which will lead to the abnormality of navigation instruments such as magnetic compass, and make planes and ships lose control and die at the bottom of the sea.

1992, a team of scientists from the United States, the former Soviet Union and France investigated the mystery of Bermuda's mysterious triangle and used satellites in space for reconnaissance. According to the photos scanned by laser, there is a huge and powerful turbulent vortex in this triangle area. Dr. akol, the chief scientist who led the investigation team, said that this huge vortex only appeared for three seconds, but its power is infinite. Its attraction is much stronger than any hurricane, earthquake and volcanic eruption on the earth, and it is not inferior to the gravity of the moon that affects the earth's tides. It can affect the weather on the moon. When this huge vortex appears, it is erratic and difficult to feel. Finding it in the Atlantic Ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack. When a huge vortex suddenly appears, it will be invincible, involving ships at sea and planes in the sky into the bottom of the sea and making planes and ships disappear. This discovery provides a realistic basis for vortex theory. [ 17] [ 18- 19]

Sea point theory

Some scholars believe that in ancient times, it took millions of years to form some pits or holes in the seabed crust of Bermuda Triangle during the continental drift. In modern times, the crustal movement here is still frequent, and earthquakes often occur in the Greater Antilles. When an earthquake occurs, the top of this hole may collapse and sag, just like the bottom of the sea "opens its mouth". Sea water poured into people's open mouths. If this happens to ships sometimes, they will be swallowed up. Therefore, there will be no traces of debris, oil pollution, crew bodies and so on on the sea surface, and nothing can escape the bad luck of being involved in the abyss.

However, many scholars are skeptical about the above speculation. Because according to the observation of the seismic network, there has never been any violent activity of "opening your mouth" or swallowing up ships on the sea surface of the Bermuda Triangle. In the 1970s, scientists from the United States and the Soviet Union jointly investigated the ocean current structure in the Bermuda Triangle, and obtained many fresh data that scientists didn't know before, but they didn't find the amazing phenomenon of "hole opening" on the seabed. [ 17]

Water bridge theory

Some scholars put forward a unique and novel point of view: although the Bermuda Triangle is far away from St. Dadu Island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, there is an underwater "water bridge" between them. This view began with an accidental discovery.

Once, a friend from St. Dadu Island in the East Pacific told Sven-Aronson, a Swedish scholar, a strange news: on the coast of St. Dadu Island, sometimes pieces of wrecked ships of unknown origin were seen. All the residents on the island were very surprised: there was no shipwreck in the local waters. Why did these wrecked fragments suddenly gush out of the sea, and where did they come from? The residents feel very mysterious. Alonso attached great importance to this strange news. After his repeated investigation and verification, it was proved that the wreckage of the wrecked ship that suddenly floated up on the coast of St. Metropolitan Island was the wreckage of the ship that mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. Aloncen made a systematic study of the mystery of Bermuda's "Devil's Triangle" with great interest, collected a large amount of data extensively, and made a detailed investigation of the submarine geological structure and complex hydrometeorological conditions between Bermuda and Saint-Dadu Island, thus putting forward a unique and novel view: there is indeed a natural underwater "water bridge" between Bermuda Triangle and Saint-Dadu Island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the magnetic field intensity of the "water bridge" is very great, which is different from its adjacent sea surface. And fickle, sometimes it will form a strong attraction. If a ship encounters this strange attraction by chance, the navigation compass and other instruments on board will fail, which will lead to the shipwreck and sinking of the ship. The underwater "water bridge" is like an oil pipeline. The sunken ship flows from one end to the other along the "water bridge", that is, from the Bermuda Triangle to the waters of St. Dadu Island in the East Pacific Ocean. Aloncen reported his unique views to the Harrisburg Institute of Geology in the United States. Professor lil jon of the Institute affirmed the great value and reliability of this discovery, and believed that Aloncen's unique insights provided a new theoretical basis and a credible way for further exploring the mystery of Bermuda Triangle in the future.

Aloncen's novel discoveries and unique insights have caused a sensation all over the world, which has aroused widespread concern and discussion among scientists from all over the world. In order to prove that there really is a long underwater "water bridge" between Bermuda Triangle and St. Metropolitan Island in the East Pacific Ocean, Aloncen conducted an experiment. He first measured the earth's magnetic field accurately, and then carried out an experiment of water tracking the magnetic field in a small pool. 1980 10, he used an electronic computer and 50000 liters of bright red water to carry out his experiments for geologists all over the world. An official of the United Nations believes that Arantzen's experiment has great reference and enlightenment significance for further exploring the mystery of Bermuda Triangle, because Arantzen's experiment proves for the first time that the ship wreckage mysteriously disappeared in Bermuda Triangle is likely to cross the American continent along the underwater "water bridge", reach the bottom of the southeast Pacific Ocean and reappear on the sea surface of Santo Island.

Many scholars are skeptical and negative about Alanzen's novel discoveries and unique opinions. I even think that the above assumptions are "myths that cannot be realized at all." They asked: Is there really an underwater "water bridge" that can connect the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and cross the American continent? Is there such magical power? This is a big mystery that cannot be confirmed at present, and it can only be a hypothesis or guess. [ 17]

Infrasound theory

Some scientists believe that the "devil" in Bermuda's "Devil's Triangle" is a strong infrasound wave with great destructive power, which is the main cause of the destruction of aircraft and ships and the death of crew.

As early as 1930s, Soviet geophysicist B.B. Shulekin discovered infrasound waves generated by ocean waves. Later, many scientists also found that infrasound waves can also be produced by volcanic eruption, earthquake, laser, thunder, airplane flight and storm. In the area where the storm is brewing, before storm warning, infrasound waves will be emitted. This kind of vibration is produced when the airflow is hit by the peak. They travel as fast as 330m/s in the air, and even faster in the water, reaching 1 650m/s ... Infrasound is a sound that people can't hear, but its destructive power is amazing. When the infrasound oscillation frequency is about 6 Hz, it can make people feel tired, and then develop from anxiety to instinctive fear. When the frequency is 7 Hz, it can paralyze the heart and nervous system. Strong infrasound waves can make people from pain to death, and can break the hull and disintegrate the plane.

1970, an American plane flew over the Bermuda Triangle and disappeared from the screen 10 minutes. After the plane landed, all the clocks on board were slower than the ground 10 minutes. 1977 In February, an explorer and his four partners explored the Bermuda Triangle by seaplane and stayed there for several days. One night, during dinner, they found a strange phenomenon: the fork they used to eat suddenly bent, and at the same time, more than a dozen keys on the seaplane were deformed, and even the pointer on the compass deviated from 40. Some scholars speculate that the above strange phenomenon may be due to weak or moderate infrasound oscillation.

Some scholars disagree with the above view. They believe that only high-intensity infrasound can affect animals and human organs, but that is a phenomenon observed in experiments conducted in closed cavities. It is difficult for nature to produce high-intensity infrasound. Some scientists imagine making infrasound weapons, but only imagine that imagination should not be regarded as reality. [ 17]

theory of black holes

Black hole theory, that is, some celestial bodies with strong gravity fall in Bermuda, and they become active small but extremely dense celestial bodies. Anything, including light, will be sucked in as long as it is nearby. But it doesn't release any substance, so people can't find it. It is like a black hole. Ships and planes are affected by it and are sucked into the sea before asking for help. This view was put forward by American scholar Weller. He thinks Bermuda has a meteorite that fell 1500 years ago. This high-density meteorite makes Bermuda a huge black hole. Once the ship and the plane get close, they will be sucked in and never get rid of it. Moreover, a meteorite once flew down from Belize City on the Mexican peninsula not far from Bermuda. This meteorite destroyed all living things on the earth, and its dust filled the earth for ten years. Whether Bermuda is also affected by it is unknown.

Those ships and planes that disappeared in Bermuda are really like the result of black holes, but it is difficult for black holes to explain why only planes and ships disappeared without a trace in an instant. [20-2 1]

Combustible ice theory

"Combustible ice", also known as natural gas hydrate, is a solid substance mixed by water and methane at high pressure and low temperature. Its appearance is very similar to that of ice and snow or solid alcohol, and it can burn in case of fire.

Professor Crene from the University of Leeds, a British geologist, put forward a new viewpoint. He believes that the culprit of frequent shipwrecks or crashes in Bermuda is the huge biogas bubbles generated by combustible ice on the seabed. When a severe earthquake occurred on the seabed, a large number of combustible ice crystals buried underground were turned out. Because the main component of combustible ice is methane, it will vaporize rapidly due to the decrease of external pressure. A large number of bubbles rise to the water surface, which reduces the density of seawater and loses its original buoyancy. At this time, ships passing through here will sink to the bottom of the sea like stones. If a plane happens to pass by at this time, methane gas will burn and explode immediately when it meets a hot plane engine.

A laboratory in the United States once conducted a simulation experiment: a large amount of air was blown upward from the bottom of a small swimming pool, and the bubbles formed filled the pool, making a swimmer with good water quality jump into the pool. At this time, his body will sink like a heavy object, because the air-filled water has lost its buoyancy. This explains why many ships suddenly sink to the bottom of the sea and disappear in the Bermuda Triangle.

So far, this speculation is the most convincing scientific statement, and scientists have also found samples of combustible ice in Bermuda waters. [22-23]

High pressure oil and gas theory

This statement was put forward by Canadian Donald Davidson. He believes that Bermuda's seabed is rich in natural gas. Due to the influence of external environmental changes, a large amount of natural gas is released in this sea area, which greatly reduces the oxygen content in the air here, thus leading to the lack of oxygen and flameout of aircraft engines. The hot exhaust gas from the tail exhaust pipe ignited the natural gas spewing out of this sea area, thus completely burning the falling plane. [2 1]

Clear sky theory of turbulence

The clear sky in Wan Li is sometimes like a turbulent undercurrent hidden under a calm sea, and occasionally there is a strong disturbance airflow, which makes the plane violently bumpy. Aviation meteorologists call this air flow that comes and goes without a trace clear-sky turbulence. Known as the "invisible killer" of the plane. The plane in flight will bump violently when it meets, and sometimes it will produce infrasound waves, tearing the plane to pieces. Some people think that the mystery of the plane's disappearance in Bermuda is due to the turbulent clear sky. [2 1]

Natural laser theory

Some scientists put forward the hypothesis of natural laser. They believe that the sun, upper atmosphere, airflow and ocean surface will form all the components of the laser generator by themselves. The sun is the source of waves, the upper atmosphere and the calm ocean surface are the emitters of light waves, and the moving airflow is a special active medium. Under certain conditions, sometimes they will form a very strong natural laser by themselves. If planes and ships accidentally touch this natural laser, they will immediately vaporize on the spot and disappear without leaving a trace. Therefore, any oil pollution, wreckage or crew bodies of wrecked planes and ships can't be found at all and disappear without a trace. But this is only the hypothesis and guess of a few scientists, and there is still no conclusive evidence. [ 17]

Geomagnetic anomaly theory

Some scientists believe that the disappearance of planes and ships in Bermuda is related to geomagnetic anomalies in this area. The geomagnetic anomaly is related to the action of the sun and the moon. Generally speaking, the power generated by the interaction of the sun and the moon on the earth reaches the maximum in June and 65438+February, and decreases to the minimum in March and165438+1October. The tidal force generated by the moon's elliptical orbit around the earth is usually most obvious in the first and middle months of the lunar calendar (new moon and full moon). A doctor of physics and mathematics studied the statistics of missing ships and planes in Bermuda Triangle and found a strange rule. He found the coordinate position of the sun and the moon at the time of the accident, and found that the time of the accident was consistent with the new moon and the full moon (that is, the first month and the middle of the lunar calendar) and the period when the propulsion reached its maximum (that is, June and 65438+February). According to these strange phenomena, he put forward a hypothesis: in the Bermuda Triangle (the same is true of other triangles on the earth), the climax of the moon-sun gravity produces ionized magma in the deep crust of the triangle, which will inevitably lead to magnetic anomalies in the triangle, forming a strong and strange magnetic field, interfering with the normal navigation of aircraft and ships, making various instruments fail, leading to the crash of aircraft and ships, and the turbulent current will take the wrecked aircraft and ships to unknown places. [ 17]

Whispering to each other.

American astronomer M.K. Jessup and some people in the west believe that the mysterious disappearance of some planes and ships in the Bermuda Triangle may be caused by the flying saucer that "whisperd"-"Cosmic Man" took. They think that the Bermuda Triangle is a frequent sea area for whisperd, and they plunder people, planes and ships at will. For example, on June 5, 1965, a large twin-engine military aircraft-"Flying Car C- 1 19" with 10 crew on board suddenly disappeared while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. Some people in the west speculate that it may have been taken away by a "flying saucer" whispering. Because the American spacecraft Gemini -4 was flying over the Bermuda Triangle when the plane disappeared, astronaut Mike chivite found a UFO with exposed tentacles, flying only 10 ~ 20 nautical miles away from the spacecraft, and he immediately photographed the UFO with his camera. According to his memory and description, the UFO seems to be cylindrical with exposed "tentacles" around it, but this "tentacle" may be just a shadow. From the photo, it is a big white spot on a black background. The astronaut's ambiguous statement added a layer of mystery to the disappearance of "C- 1 19" plane. Later, he wrote in his reply: "... I did see something that some people called a flying saucer during the flight of the spacecraft, but this does not mean that it was a spacecraft from other planets. I saw it during the flight, whether it was myself or others.

Some people disagree with the above statement. They interpreted the UFO discovered by astronauts as the Pegasus -2 satellite that was flying normally in orbit at that time, because the satellite had a 96-foot-long antenna similar to a tentacle. However, after detailed calculation, it is confirmed that when the plane "C- 1 19" disappeared, the satellite "Pegasus -2" was roaming thousands of miles in space over the Bermuda Triangle. Therefore, the UFO discovered by astronauts can't be the satellite Pegasus -2 at all.

Some people think that although it is not Pegasus -2 satellite, it may be other metal fragments, because there were 1400 artificial celestial bodies constantly orbiting the earth at that time, so it is difficult to determine that it is whisperd's "flying saucer". What exactly is a UFO is still a mystery. [ 17]

Space-time flight theory

This statement is full of fantasy, but there are also facts: 1968, American Airlines large passenger plane. When crossing the Bermuda Triangle, it suddenly disappeared on the ground radar screen 10 minutes. How to explain this phenomenon? Some people think that it is because of the jump in time and space, during which the plane has left people's time. For the crew on board, all this happened unconsciously: the clock on the plane was slower than the clock on the ground for a while, which just showed that the plane was in a state of non-existence during this time. This is based on the fact that time is not uniform, but different speeds. If the speed of time at a certain point in space is different from its general speed, then the spaceship or plane caught in the time trap will leave our world temporarily or permanently. At this time, ships or planes, together with their passengers, will experience the future or the past. Charles Beric, the author of Bermuda Triangle, holds this view. He wrote: "The mother of the missing driver sometimes feels that her son is still alive somewhere in space." It is not difficult to see that this explanation is closer to the bizarre fantasy novel. [ 17]

Abnormal gravity theory

American astronauts once took high-resolution sea level photos while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. After analysis, it is found that the sea level above Puerto Rico trench is 25 meters lower than other sea areas. This abnormal situation will theoretically form a strong ocean circulation, but it does not. Later, some scientists explored the Puerto Rico Trench. It is found that as deep as 92 15 meters, there will be no rotating flow. According to the research of these scientists, this trench is particularly deep because there are many unusual overweight substances in the crust below the trench. These substances produce a strong gravity, that is, abnormal gravity, which pulls the trench tightly and makes the sea water above the trench fall downward. Scientists speculate that once a ship suddenly goes into the sea for 25 meters, it will be affected by the abnormal gravity field, and all kinds of unimaginable complex situations will occur, resulting in unimaginable consequences. [ 17]

Supernatural power theory

Because all kinds of scientific hypotheses are unconvincing, some people suggest that there are supernatural forces in the Bermuda Triangle, and think that the bottom of the triangle is the base for launching rockets and flying saucers, and it is also the most ideal place to receive spacecraft from other imaginary planets. It is said that in the prehistoric stage of the earth, it is likely that astronauts from other planets discovered the geographical features of the Bermuda Triangle and installed powerful energy points and signal systems on the seabed here. Imagine that this device is still running, sending signals into space on time to guide astronauts from other planets to get close to the earth safely. When these underwater devices operate regularly, their powerful optical signals will not only directly and seriously affect navigation instruments or human organs, but also destroy ships and planes that appear in the triangle area at this time. Since modern times, there have been more and more reports about flying saucers in the world, most of which were found in Florida-Bahamas. So some people speculate that UFOs are responsible for the disappearance of ships and planes in the triangular waters, and there seems to be conclusive evidence. 1963, the us navy found a "monster" under the sea in southeastern Puerto Rico, so it sent warships to follow it. It chased it for four days, but it didn't catch up. Sometimes it drills to the depth of 8000 meters and finds that it has a propeller. In addition, sponge workers on the Spanish coast also saw a huge transparent dome on the seabed. These phenomena make people suspect that the triangle may be a submarine launch site, from which UFOs are launched. It is conceivable that this speculative fantasy is more important. [ 17]

Methane explosion theory

Researchers from Arctic University in Norway have found many huge potholes in Barents Sea near Bermuda Triangle. These potholes are about 805 meters wide and 46 meters deep, which are formed by the cumulative explosion of methane near the coast. They believe that methane explosion may pose a threat to ships sailing in the Barents Sea. Some experts pointed out that the potholes formed by methane explosion at the bottom of Barents Sea also help to explain the mystery of missing ships and planes in Bermuda Triangle. Scientists say that there are abundant natural gas reserves in the depths of the seabed, and natural gas (mainly methane) leaks slowly. Over the years, methane accumulates on the seabed to form holes, and these holes filled with methane will eventually explode. Researchers said that the submarine explosion may cause danger to the ships sailing at sea at the time of explosion, which explains the real reason for the disappearance of Bermuda Triangle ships [24].

Each of the above statements has certain rationality, but it can only explain a certain phenomenon. What is the real reason? This needs further study.
